Overview

Coursedog has built a real time integration for both schedule & curriculum planning data from PowerCampus.
Coursedog has successfully deployed this integration with both on-premise and hosted/Cloud solutions.
Our solution is built to follow Ellucian designation best practice standards around architecture and security.
All data exchanges are handled through REST APIs that are exposed through our middleware.

See the PowerCampus Data Workbook for a list of currently supported fields and objects.
If a field or object is in the spreadsheet linked above, that means the integration can support it. If you wish to do less, you can. However, if you want to do something beyond what is documented, then that would be considered a custom integration and will require scoping.

Coursedog assumes you meet the following minimum requirements:

Institution is using corresponding baseline PowerCampus processes and data structures (e.g. Course Scheduling, Course and Program inventory).
- The Institution is responsible to meet the needs of their specific environment.
Docker installed (See installation requirements).
Ability to whitelist IPs as needed for Test and Production (if needed).
- Coursedog supports an industry standard transfer protocol for both approaches. Coursedog will install a lightweight client that will pull the information from your database and expose the information externally via SSL/HTTPS. All transmissions will be handled over SSL so no need for you to open any additional ports (443).

Coursedog commonly partners with N2N for the SIS API integration and requires Docker for a streamlined installation process (See N2N Docker Requirements for on-premise solutions).
